[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1136356, member: 65365"] Just to play devils advocate to your devils advocate, how is having 4 pools of 6 in the World Cup any different to requiring tier 1 to play tier 3 before the World Cup? Honestly I think 4 pools of five is too much. Last time I watched every game, but this time I don't think I'll be bothered with watching any of the games involving the 5th top teams in each pool or the 4th top in pool A except when they play NZ. Ignoring logistics, What would be fun is if, outside world cups, tier 1 had obligations to play their second team against lower tiers and then if the lower team wins they earn the right to play the top team.
